this for me without a doubt 😀
For me, Leon or Once Upon A Time In The West.
Put on the headphones. Hit play. Change to full screen.
End of thread.
La Haine. Brilliant film and brilliant intro:
Teasel has it, Sergio Leone is the master and a bit of Ennio Morricone you have perfection.
But for me it has to be.
The best film intro (audio).
By jove, racefaceec90 has got it. I vividly remember that from seeing it many many years ago at the cinema. Totally mesmerising.Although his clip cuts off too early- the husky running through the snow with that heartbeat... brilliant.
This is up there, for the neil young guitar
original star wars, after the scrolling text, the stars, the rumble then the imperial destroyer coming in to fill the screen.
as a kid seeing that for the first time in '77, when your regular special effects were pretty basic, was mind blowing.

Yep. Exactly the scene I was about to mention.

If your screen is big enough you might feel your stomach go light at 2:10
Urls not embedded YouTubes guys, some people don't have 60 mega download speed.
Apocalypse Now and a film called 'Narc'. The opening sequence involves a drug fuelled chase.

Change the plugin setting to 'click to play'.
Opening of The Italian Job for me.

Ipcress file
The ritualistic coffee making and getting ready is sublime, just so perfectly understated
We brake for nobody.
Blade. And turn up the volume.
another kubrick masterpiece
Well might not be considered the best but i did love the opening sequence of the first Tranformers movie (when you realise they'd done a decent cgi job of the 'transforming')...
earliest tear in the eye
From Donnie Darko, the film that made me go to film school and ultimately do nothing with my life.
And turned me on to EATBM who I saw at 18 and was by far the youngest person there.
Saving Private Ryan has to be up there as one of the most emotive.
American Werewolf in London also has to be one of the freakiest IMO - it's what cemented my werewolf 'thing' and gives me the heebie jeebies every time I'm out in the sticks at night.
for me it would be Alien, but bullitt, is just brilliant

The Social Network - conversation in the bar to running home
The chase scene in the first 5 mins of this film was ground breaking for camera work, well before the bourne identity films.
The start of "Lord of War" is excellent as ell (life of a bullet lol)
Goodfellas
Snake Eyes. Brilliant intro but not a great film
A sweep across rooms on a hotel floor
EDIT: just read title again. ..... This is the first that came into my head, but not the best ever.
Opening scene of Quantum of Solice....pan shot accross the lake with serene musis...than BAM...you are in the tunnels with V12's and machines guns...to the bad guy being in the boot at the end. My favourite Bond opening, marred only by the rubbish film it prefaces.
Dawn of the Dead, first 10 mins
another kubrick masterpiece
Agreed, and that was to be my choice also - only not the 'yodeling' version - WTHWT? 😯
Up
Swordfish.
bigger the screen the better
Top Gun, brilliant
Way of the Gun (NSFW)
